Overview
Where Taylor & Francis stands on CRediT
Taylor & Francis is widely assumed to support CRediT on a per-journal opt-in basis across its very broad portfolio, but CASRAI could not independently confirm this: Taylor & Francis does not appear as a named entry on the official NISO CRediT adopter registry (credit.niso.org/adopters), and CASRAI found no dated primary-source announcement from Taylor & Francis itself. The detail below reflects the publisher’s general author-services pages rather than a confirmed CRediT-specific commitment — treat it as unverified pending a primary source.
Scope: Per-journal opt-in across the Taylor & Francis / Routledge portfolio
